If you have an eating disorder, if you love someone with an eating disorder, if you are a professional who treats eating disorders, what you will find here will be deeply moving and instantly useful. What an excellent and rare combination!

Jenn does such an incredible job at depicting one’s struggle and recovery from an eating disorder through the use of written word and music, which take the reader on her unique journey. A raw, unforgettable, and inspiring story.

With the same embodied soul that reaches into your heart and reminds you of it’s ever-present beat, Jenn Friedman gives words to her journey through a deadly eating disorder and perhaps, even worse, a life that would have silenced her. From melancholia to metaphor, Friedman brings the reader along on a journey her eating disorder never would have allowed; a journey that allows them to see what depth true life inspires. This book is brave, it’s fierce and best of all, it touches the heart in a way that you won’t soon forget.

Jenn Friedman has come up with a uniquely personal account of her journey through the darkness of an eating disorder to the light of recovery. Jenn’s use of music and metaphor accompany her through the pain of her disorder, the struggle to overcome it, and the passion she has found to help others. Jenn’s work should be heard—not just read—as it is through her connection to music and finding her voice that her healing manifested.

Eating Disorders on the Wire is unlike anything I have ever encountered in the world of eating disorder recovery. The creative depth with which Jenn writes is fascinating and new. She has a unique voice as an advocate and an artist. I am so glad her voice exists.

Jenn offers a unique perspective on the raw, unglamorous reality of eating disorders. Her journey of recovery through metaphors, coupled with her heart-stirring songs, puts words to the struggle that many find impossible to express.
